In an email sent out this evening, FreePay has announced a change to their Terms Of Service that has the entire freebie community wondering what is really happening over at FreePay and what long term, and possibly unforeseen, effects this may have.

Important Change to Terms & Conditions

This email concerns an important change to the Terms & Conditions for [all FreePay referral-based sites].

• With a start date of March 1, 2006 – users of FreePay websites have 90 days to complete all offer requirements.

• Upon completion of all offer requirements, existing users will need to print a "Redemption Form" that must be filled out in its entirety and mailed with a postmarked date no later than 30 days of completing their offer requirements.

You will find an indication of how many days you have left to complete the requirements on the Status page. When you have completed the requirements you will be able to download the redemption form from the Status page.

To coincide with this change, look out for an update soon that will make it even easier to refer friends!

Best wishes
- The FreePay Team

Will this be the end of the FreePay reign as the best of all of the freebie companies? One can only wonder what "update" they are offering to try and ease the pain. All we can do now is wait and hope that FreePay has some sly trick up their sleeves to patch this seemingly mortal blow.
